Urgent HELP request, for Felix & Emma Tijerina
Donation protected
We have fallen upon very hard times. Emma and myself are almost 80 years old. Our long time car broke down completely after spending what we had available to repair the known issue. About a 2 week later the entire engine went out. It is unfixable after 400k+.
We have been without a vehicle for about 2 months now. We are looking for a way to get a little cash car that is dependable and has air to get us to and from.
We have to find rides to get to both our Doctors and Specialists appointments and been having to cancel others because of no transportation. We have to ask family/friends to please help us pick up vital daily prescription medications. We can't even make it to a grocery store to get us food to eat and basic necesseties. We have to ask if anyone can take or get them for us.
When it rains, it storms... This was followed by our central A/C outside unit going out in the midst of these triple digit HEAT days. We live in a single wide mobile home and it gets melting hot very quickly. We have a small window unit that is helping us right now and we've blocked off everything but the kitchen and living room with blankets to conserve and make the area cool as best as it can for my wife and I.
As if that wasn't enough, our septic overflowed and backed up our bathroom where it was overflowing and we had to call my grandson to help us physical by bucket empty it out so that we could have somewhere to go to the restroom. It has been really bad.
days after I had been feeling ill and had a fall and was taken by ambulanc to Mission Trail. My daughter picked up her mom and followed over, only to find out that I was Covid Positive and so was my wife who is "high risk" being elderly, but having had a triple bi-pass, high blood pressure, and diabetes II. My daughter and her husband as well caught it trying to help us.
We live far out in the country area of loop 1604 and hwy 37. It puts us over
miles away from even the closest HEB or store areas.
I'm reaching out desperately because of all the above situations, but as well my wife has dymentia and she is struggling really bad being completely cooped up in this situation where she doesn't connect to many things and understand what is happening she is feeling the effects terribly.
If anyone is able to help in smallest to largest way, I would humby like to say "Thank you in advance and God bless you all in Jesus name".
I can't tell you HOW MUCH it would be appreciated and help us tremedously.
Sincerely,
Felix and Emma Tijerina
